Claims that Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and Ethel "Etta" Place returned from South America have been circulating for many years. Some authors reject the argument that the two outlaws were killed in San Vicente, Bolivia, on the night of 6-7 November 1908, asserting that the evidence that the two men were Butch and Sundance is not robust.

But ultimately you, the reader, will decide if the evidence supports the arguments that they returned
